Convenient Programs for Busy Volunteers
i-SAFE combines classroom education and community outreach into one unique program. There are a number of quick, easy ways
people with busy schedules can get involved and make an impact in their communities.
 i-LEARN Online is on your computer whenever you need it. These Internet safety videos cover the six topics every person needs
to be aware of, including cyber predators, identity theft, cyber bullies, and more. The videos are separated into brief chapters, so
watch them all now, or watch one a day-it is up to you and your busy schedule! Once you've watched the videos, you are certified to
teach and train others, and are eligible for free online materials. So go to
http://ilearn.isafe.org, and start today.
i-MENTOR Training Network is the student version of i-LEARN Online. It is the perfect solution for the student in your life.
Whether working on a service project or just concerned about friends' online habits, this is where a student's empowerment begins. The
training and certification is the same as i-LEARN Online. So get your favorite kid involved, and send him or her to
http://xblock.isafe.org/imtn.php to begin today.
i-SAFE offers five ways for Verizon volunteers to help in their communities. Check out the list below, and select the one that best
fits you. Then go to the Downloads section to get all the materials and resources you need to
be a success. See a selection that fits a friend? Send him or her a link to this page to get going! And remember, anything can be a
learning environment-schools, religious organizations, youth groups, service clubs, after-school programs, and more.
- i-PARENT Program
i-SAFE has taken all the work out of educating other parents about the dangers found online. It is perfect for any gathering of
adults, no matter how small or how large, how educated or in the dark. The i-PARENT Program has PowerPoint presentations that are
scripted and include videos. All you need to do is fill out an
Implementation Plan.
Once you have filled out your implementation plan, you will receive all the materials and instructions you need online and free.
- i-Adopt-A-School Program
This program is designed to ensure every school has an opportunity to receive i-SAFE's unique Internet safety curriculum, youth
empowerment, and community outreach. Local service-minded groups and/or individuals create partnerships to bring this valuable program
to your community immediately. This is the fastest way to bring i-SAFE to your community. To get started, check out this
doc!
- Teach
"All it takes for darkness to reign is for good people to stand by and do nothing." This anonymous quote sums up the need for adults to
teach our youth. To make a difference, you do not have to be a certified teacher-only a certified i-SAFE trainer. Watch the
i-LEARN Online videos, and you will receive i-SAFE's age-appropriate curriculum
online and free. It includes teaching and learning activities for grades K through 12, and each lesson fosters participation between
students and instructors through discussions and activities.
*As an informed volunteer, you may introduce this program to others, or you may choose to implement curriculum lessons directly as
part of the Verizon Literacy Program. i-SAFE provides immediately downloadable lesson plans and educator resources as part of the
Verizon Literacy Network.
- Service Learning
i-SAFE is the only Internet safety education program that incorporates community outreach and youth empowerment in education-based
materials. Nothing exemplifies the role as a leader in this area more than the service-learning program. It takes Internet safety
education into student activities outside the classroom for credit. This program is ideal for student groups, clubs, and service
organizations. If you know someone who might be interested, send him or her to the
i-MENTOR Training Network now!
- Assembly Experience
The i-SAFE Assembly Experience is a 45-minute dynamic, interactive, multimedia experience for grades 5 through 12. It is designed to
be a high-powered show that speaks directly to youth. With lights, videos, and true-life stories, i-SAFE shows how actions in the
cyber world have serious real-world consequences. The Assembly Experience is the launching pad for the i-SAFE curriculum, DRiVE
Campaign, and the i-MENTOR Program. It is designed to be presented by adults and
by students.
